MACHINE FOR WINDING 'IATTING SI-IU'ITLES.

To all whom t'may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARY E. FASIG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for inding Tatting Shuttles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to machines for winding tatting shuttles, the object being to effect uniform tension on the thread and produce an even laying of the thread around the axis of the shuttle. To these ends I provide a vertical pivoted thread holder with a slot in its side to feed the thread to a steel blade mounted in horizontal alignment with a rotating tatting shuttle, the end of the blade being mounted in juxtaposition to the shuttle to intercept its ends alternately and separate its jaws as it revolves in winding the thread. Each end of the blade has an eye to transmit the thread, the eye being fine enough to produce a tension on the thread in the shuttle. Any suitis able means for effecting a rapid rotation of the shuttle may be used, including a crank with a handle and gearing supported on a bracketed arm adapted to be attached to a table.

The invention will be easily understood in connection with the accompanying drawings, and its novel features will be particularly indicated in the accompanying claim.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side view of my apparatus; Figure 2 is a plan; and Figure 3 is a detail of the thread holder.

In the drawing 1 represents a supporting member having an arm 2 bent to a horizontal line, in the end of which is a setscrew 3 by means of which the device may be clamped to the edge of a table. f is a handle driving a pair of bevel-gears 5 acting on a vertical spindle 011 which is a pair of adjustable jaws 6 adjusted by means of setscrews 7, 7. 8 is a fixed steel blade supported on a standard 9. The two extremities of the blade are drilled each with a fine hole to permit the thread to be carried over the face of the blade to the shuttle. 10 is a spool or ball-holder for the thread to be dropped into, and is pivoted to freely revolve on the support. In the side of the holder is a slot admitting passage of the thread. Itwill be apparent that when the thread is carried from the holder through the eyes of the blade, and connected to the axis of the shuttle, driving the crank will alternately open the jaws of the shuttle and wind the thread uniformly on the shuttle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A winding machine for tatting shuttles, comprising a rotative shaft carrying the 65 shuttle, a fixed metal bar having an eye serving as a thread guide at each end, one end of said bar intercepting the jaws of the shuttle in its rotation, to effect an effective feed of the thread, and a laterally slotted caing to receive a wound ball of thread.
